Question and options
Identify the part that contains the error.
He was entered the compound stealthily.
He was entered the compound stealthily.
- He
- was entered
- the compound
- stealthily.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - was entered
The error is “was entered”. Here he himself went into the compound, so “enter” must be active: “He entered the compound stealthily.” The passive “was entered” would mean that someone entered him, which makes no sense.
